My RE gave me Provera for 7 days (10 mg. per day) to start my period. I finished it Tuesday and i still have not started. I sort of feel like I might but cannot tell. Why would it not work? It has always worked in the past except I took Provera for 10 days. Not sure why she gave me only 7.

i usually start AF on the day after the last pill so this is highly unusual. I will say that usually i take 10mg provera for 10 days and this doctor (my RE) gave me 10mg for 7 days...maybe it is not enough. I also just had a laparscopy 6 weeks ago so maybe my body is in shock. Help...I am worried! Dr. Q?

Lara~ each person varies but my first time on Provera (10mg for 10 days) I started on day 7 of taking the pills. The second time I took it, same amount of days and same dose, it took 15 days after my last pill for AF to start. My doctors nurse told me that it can take up to 14 days to start after taking Provera.

Thanks guys..you are guys are wonderful. I am just so PMS'd I want to start! Never thought I would be begging to start AF but my PMS is really bad...constant cramps and moody. Hopefully I will start soon. It has been 7 days since I took my last pill.

Lara...provera is given in three different doses....5 days, 7 days and 10 days. And one can bleed anywhere from the 3rd day of finishing the dose to the 14 day of finishing the dose. I have always had period on the third or fourth day after taking provera until last time when it arrived on the 8th day.....so hang in there!!

thanks! normally I take it for 10 days and my period comes like one day after I finish it. I just had a laparoscopy and think this might have something to do with my body being so screwed up. I took it for 7 days..never done that before. maybe it just was not enough or something. Anyway...i hope i start soon..I am quite miserable with PMS. my boobs are killing me!

I FINALLY STARTED AF!!!!!! I never thought I would be so happy to get my period!!!! I have been miserable with cramps/sore boobs/moodiness for days. Now that I have started my cramps have gone away...go figure. Today was my 8th day since I took the last pill so I guess my RE was right. Coopergirl, you will probably start anyday now. They told me it can take up to two weeks. This is the first time that has ever happened to me though.
